Lol, are we forgetting when we got spanked during the 2020/2021 Spring season? I remember feeling super confident going into that match and then bam! I know there were a ton of external factors, blah blah blah.

Y'all gonna love it. Orzol's best L in America @06:48 . And Emily's prediction of the Wisconsin-Texas match is hilarious @17:46 mark Yeah, but Emily is like "oh just line up Smrek opposite of Skinner" as if the Badgers have started in any lineup other than 1.GG 2.CC 3.Smrek 4.Franklin 5.Booth 6.Hammill L.Orzol in the last month since Purdue. And we need that lineup because otherwise our subs get messed up much earlier. As currently constructed, we run out of subs after rotating 15 times (when TTA comes in for GG the third time) and Devyn goes back row two rotations later. Another way to say it is that Devyn serves after our 17th sideout - thus we only need to score 8 points on serve. Thus, if the opponent sides out at 70% (17/24 or 16/23) and we don't lose, we will run out of subs in that set. It's actually wild how rarely this happens even against elite teams, and shows how tough a team we are on serve. But if we don't start with GG at the 1 this comes much sooner for us, so we need to start in that rotation. but Kelly has flipped MJ / Anna with Izzy / Robinson if he wants a different opposite rotation. Our first set is always what was previously mentioned, though.

Our first set is always what was previously mentioned, though. In this out of subs scenario, starting with MJ and Anna means you end up with Izzy as the setter playing front row, blocking, and Dev playing back row defense. Flip the starting pair, and you flip to MJ front row blocking and Anna playing back row D. I'm not sure who's the better blocker, but Dev is likely the better floor defender.

Rainbows are going. We bought tickets back in January - I had a feeling. I had a feeling too. Unfortunately/fortunately it included the feeling that Nebraska would be there too, and I refuse to watch them in any final fours ever again. So I lucked out. To be fair, a lot of people think that about Wisconsin, Stanford and Texas too. A lot of empty seats near me so I’m hoping they are taken by Badger fans doing the WI fan event. I don’t appear to be surrounded by Nebraska fans anyway. Which was giving me pause for Sunday. First things first though ‘

Watching Pitt's OOS bump sets make me so grateful for GG!

Absolutely. I did the bubble for a football game recently but still had my phone on vibrate and my smart watch on. The explosion of texts every once in awhile gave me such anxiety and I wouldn’t look but at the same time I couldn’t force myself to turn them off. A tough life we live simply as fans, lol. I would collapse into fetal position if I were actually on the court playing. Coaching is way worse than playing. When kids I coach are running a big race with big team expectations its the hardest thing ever. I’d give anything to be in the race. Emotions are all over the place but you can not show that at all. So hard.

Watching Pitt's OOS bump sets make me so grateful for GG! We will be talking about her bump sets long after she is gone. They are epic. I don’t know how she does it on the run in the back corner of the court with her back turned.

I think the beauty in this years team is that he doesn’t care if you know how we are starting. We play to our many strengths and let you try to figure out a way to beat us. Gotta love Wisconsin Football Volleyball.

That R2 is the same one who blew a net violation call in the Badger/Oregon match when CCs hair hit the net. That Pitt player was a good 8" from the net on that last play. I don't think that R2 knows the rule that hair in the net is a violation. What if that score was 24-23 and it gave Nebraska the match?!?!? #Unacceptable

It won't be the same refs for the second match.

I love Izzy, but she's been awful tonight.

GG is so fragile mentally for a position that have to stand in and take bombs from the opposing hitters...Time for a gut check here
